Civil engineering (General) This project is to investigate mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminium silicon alloy using sand casting. In this project there were separated into two parts which are foundry laboratory and inspection parameter.

Since the coarseness of porosity is proportional to grain size, porosity in fine grained casting is finer and less harmful in fine-grained casting. In additional, shrinkage and hot cracking are usually associated with coarse-grained structure. So, a finer grain size minimizes shrinkage and the mechanical properties, such as tensile is better for fine grained casting than coarse-grained casting. The modified of the casting product by adding the degassing agent inside the casting will give better result mechanical properties in hardness test and tensile strength until an optimization point achieved where there is improvement of mechanical properties. 2010-12 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/1503/1/Wong_yin_ying_%28_CD_5089_%29.pdf Wong, Yin Ying (2010) Investigation mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminium silicon alloy using sand casting.
